‘Ek Taraf Mohammed, Ek Taraf Krishna’ Shubman Gill’s stump-mic remark goes viral; Watch
Leeds: Indian skipper Shubman Gill’s light-hearted stump-mic comment during Day 5 of the first Test match between India and England at Headingley has caught the attention of cricket fans and quickly went viral on social media.
As India pushed hard for a breakthrough in the final day’s first session, with Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna operating from opposite ends, Gill was heard on the stump mic saying, “Ek taraf Mohammed hai, ek taraf Krishna, dono tabahi machayega” — a remark that playfully referred to the names of his bowlers while expressing confidence in their ability to dismantle the English batting line-up.
The phrase, loosely translated to "On one side there’s Mohammed, on the other side Krishna — both will wreak havoc," gained traction across social platforms, with fans appreciating the humour and timing during an intense match situation.
Gill’s comment came as India introduced Krishna into the attack after Jasprit Bumrah’s opening spell, with Siraj already operating from the other end. Though the remark brought smiles online, the Indian team had little to cheer about on the field in that session, as England’s openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley put up a solid century partnership under cloudy skies, frustrating the Indian attack and pushing their side closer to a challenging target of 371.
Match Overview
England were chasing 371 after India posted 364 in their second innings, led by centuries from KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. The hosts had earlier been bowled out for 471 in their first innings, with Jasprit Bumrah claiming a five-wicket haul. India managed a narrow six-run lead in the first innings after their own strong total of 477, which included hundreds from captain Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Pant.
The match is also notable for being Gill’s first as captain in Test cricket following Rohit Sharma’s retirement from the format. The young batter marked the occasion with a century in his debut match as skipper, becoming only the fifth Indian captain in history to do so.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
